A New Day

Well, today is much better than yesterday. The Phillies won the World Series, I had a great night's sleep, and I had a good workout this morning. My training schedule called for 0-3 miles, so I did 2 on the treadmill at the gym. It went quickly as I upped the speed to an 8:57-minute mile pace and was distracted by all of the Phillies Phun coverage on the local morning news shows. It's such a great day in Philadelphia!

I am working on not trying to take on everything and taking some time for me at the end of the day. I feel like I'm constantly going, going, going between training, school, work, chores, etc. My very wise and understanding husband helped me realize that I have to take a break every now and then.

Tomorrow after work I'll be doing my 14-mile run that's scheduled for Saturday. I have to work at Homecoming on Saturday morning, so that's the only time I can do it. It'll be a new milestone for me. My to-date longest distance is 13.1 miles, so I'm excited! I'm going to forge a route from my office and down the Schuylkill River Path to the Art Museum, which should be nice. The weather's going to be perfect. I kind of wish I didn't have to work and could just go to the Phillies parade.

Wish me luck! Hopefully the Phillies will give me some inspiration tomorrow.
